Seminar 33 -- Off-Site Construction for Resilient Buildings: Getting the Details Right PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

The promise of off-site construction is in higher quality, faster and potentially less expensive building construction. These attributes lead to more resilient buildings and enable faster housing recovery after disasters. However, achieving this dream is only possible with the right details. These details include the on-site finishing between panels and modules, how to effectively integrate HVAC and water supply, and the financial and logistical details of executing on a project. This session explores both materials and projects with an eye toward enabling best practices so practitioners can learn strategies for getting the details right.
